immediate dial into user personalityFirst, context: Both my old laptops failed within five weeks of each other. So, purchased a gamer with same configuration as ASUS but with 16 ram/17 screen from a different manufacturer. All good and enjoy the machine. To replace second old laptop, bought this computer; same configuration 'cept 8 ram/ 15 screen. Once I figured out how to open the lid, everything simply flowed together during setup and everyday use. Tiny things, so tiny it's hard to remember, but when this computer does it, total pleasant surprise; and a bunch of stuff. Here's one: when I use this computer at night, for audio whatever, if the screen is too bright, half asleep I'll lower the lid, not enough to sleep, but to keep audio on. Well, this baby sleeps the screen BUT keeps the audio site going! A bunch of little stuff like that that all of us never pay attention to until something comes along and sorts it out without asking. No battery hot problems and no other problems recalled. I can offer zero feedback on longevity; at this point, my feeling mirrors the company statement of 'incredible.' And that's the math.1
